Oh how much I hate you,let me count the ways{open}

[Seijun]

It was in the afternoon when Leon, and this time actually going by his real name had decided to get away from Clovis by ordering the man to stay in the house and cook. He wanted to be alone today, and so he walked out and went to the park. It was just one of those days that made him hate his father and 'the woman' so much. His mother dead, and his father decided to get another woman in order to make it look like a real family. Sure he had claimed time and again that he had loved her, but he knew that his father couldn't careless for her. She could die and he would just move onto another woman. It was that simple, that was the kind of father the man was after all. Of course, this enters his mind every single day so what made today so different? The answer was simple, today, that woman had decided to go up to him and actually hug him. She just suddenly lunged at him as if they were close to each other. Close to each other!

After that moment, he instantly ran away and told his butler to cook."Oh how much I hate you, let me count the ways." he stated, his voice almost in audiable to himself."I hate you to the depth, width and breath of your soul." he ended, before closing his eyes. Slowly he put the eye patch over his right eye. He did not want to be Leon right now, the son of that dispicable man and the step-son of that defile woman. Right now he was Touketsu Seishou. Even though is clothes were obviously not Japanese as he had ran off before changing, he'll just say that he is rich, which is the truth by the way. He was rich, and he had earned it himself as he refused to accept his father's money. He would always hit it away, it was his way to show that he would never forgive that man.

After putting on the eye patch, he stared at the kids that were playing with their parents. Oh how he envied them, oh how he hated them. Why did they have two loving parents while he gets nothing. He would give up everything he's done, all of his accomplishments as he tries to get away from his parents for their lives. He would give up his being just to be able to live one day in their shoe. Yet, they never appreciate it. They would always take it for granted. He wanted to hit them so much and ask the person who has given him this stupid fate. He wanted to kill that person so bad. He stood up and glared at the kids. They stared at him for a moment and then looked away. Apparently they were either scared of him or simply think that he was weird for glaring at them. Either way, Seijun's anger did not cease.

Not wanting to deal too much, he walked to the sakura tree and laid down under it to close his eyes for a moment. He needed some time to collect himself from one of those off days. Those days that makes him want to creature a massacure of everyone. Okay, not really, he wasn't that mad, nor does he go on any kind of killing spree. It's just, he was angry, so angry that he had almost lost his sanity. He woulnd't normally glare at kids nor would he usually leave his butler's side as he would usually get lost. Today he didn't though, because he just headed to the closest place that he is familiar with. He thought about going ot the forest but chances are, he would had definately bene lost there seeing that he has no sense of direction of after all. Since, well last time, he had neded up in a sweet shop and got labled a thief.

Slowly, the boy reached into his pockets to take out his cellphone. He began to fidle with it, with his mind wondering if he should go ahead and call Clovis or not. Nah, he didn't want to go home yet, not until those two leave anyway. So, with that thought in mind, he opened his eyes once again, his composure, somewhat calm now, he stared off into the sky. Hopefully today won't get any worse, if it could get any worse.

[Zane Kaijuu]

Now, why couldn't he simply decide on one tree to sleep in? Everyday, it was a different tree he slept in after school. And today, it seemed that he had chosen the Sakura tree to sleep in. He was somewhere near the middle of the tree on a strong limb. He always checked the strength of a tree limb before he fell asleep on it. It wouldn't be very cool if he fell out of the tree because the limb had broken. Not cool at all.

Zane currently had a pair of headphone in his ears that were attached to his MP3 player, which was currently playing music for him while he slept. Music wasn't something he listened to while he slept, but with all the loudness of the city and the park, it was easier to fall asleep that way. He acted too much like a cat to be frank...it sometimes made normal non-Kaijuu kinda wierded out. But who wouldn't be? He ate catnip, fish, was in love with yarn...and liked to climb trees.

Suddenly, his hand holding the electronic device loosened it's hold on it and it fell to the ground with a clatter, the head phones also being tugged out of his ears, yet, Zane didn't seem to notice and just continued to sleep on. He could only hope that it was still on the ground when he woke up after this little catnap. Though, with the length of his 'little' catnaps weren't little at all. They could last for hours...and at one time he had slept straight through the day into the next. It had been a bit funny because he had to go home, get dressed for school, and then go to school...school that had just ended when he got there.

[Ravenna Sohma/Shane Kaijuu]

Ravenna never really had time to just sit around. She was always on the move most of the time and had always found something to do to pass the time. She let her crimson color eyes flicker slighlty now towards each and every direction around her. Of course not everything seemed to be so serious for her.

A lot of things she seemed to take very light, and of course never would be one to let others take the blame if it was her fault and if she was the wrong one. She let her eyes open and close a few more times. It seemed ridiculous, her to just wander idly sometimes, but that was what she ended up doing for the most part. She kind of figured though that something like this would happen.

She sighed again, thinking again about home. It was a bit annoying sometimes. The Sohma's weren't exactly what you would call the dream family. No, they were what you would call the wild family, or something like that. Their personalities seemed to range from many different things, though Ravenna chose not to list every little detail, quality, and flaw to their personalities. Of course she had some of her own, but she was simply fine with it.

She stared at the park now, listening to the quiet chatter and jubilant laughter of children. It seemed to her as though it were trying to mock her. No, that was hosrrible. They couldn't all raise their voices in laughter and harmony to be insulting her, right? She hoped so. She shook her head now as the voices seemed to be getting to her, so she let herself move away blinking slightly as she saw a familiar face sleeping comfortably in a tree and someone she had never met before as well.

She let herself approach them casually, as she brushed back her crimson colored hair letting her crimson eyes burn and flair slightly as she stared upon him. "Hey there," she murmured, smirking at him as she stared at the new boy. It was only a moment later that she was sitting next to him, waiting to see if he would respond to her.

[faded]

Class had ended a few hours ago though Kyo wouldn’t miss her today he was working at the dojo for a bit longer than normal, it had been like this most of the time. The move had been nice though Tohru missed her friends so dearly, Kyo had become much happier afterwards as well even during the wedding he had refrained from fighting with Yuki. Slowly picking up another mouth full of rice Tohru couldn’t help but smile down at the ring on her finger, she loved Kyo with all her heart and nothing could change that.

College seemed just like high school homework and things to do, her after school job of serving at a local restaurant had been doing pretty well. Kyo had objected but had caved after Tohru had seemed upset about it, she wanted to help make money as well it would never change even if they were married. Finishing her lunch Tohru packed up ready to head home and begin her daily cleaning before Kyo arrived home. The walk home was just like any other the same familiar path she had learned since her first day in the new city.

Passing under a lovely sakura tree Tohru was struck on the head, winching she blinked as a small music device fell to the ground before her feet. Bending down to pick it up she rubbed the spot on her head where it had fell and glanced up to the tree above her, noticing the boy snuggly sleeping on one of the branches. “ uh.. Excuse me !” she called out

[Seijun]

Hmmm? Seishiou saw the headphone fell right in front of him. It made the grass rustle before it stayed there, set into the green blades. His eyes simply stared at it, not so sure on what to do. Why did it just drop from the sky. His mind soon caught on with reality and he lifted his head to find a boy with blue hair. The teen was sleeping...on a branch of a tree. Okay, now that was unusual. Sure he had seen teenagers sit on the branch and talk to each other but to sleep on a tree, now that was something new. How the heck do you sleep on a tree? Wouldn't you fall or something? Even more was that, isn't it uncomfortable. The branch wasn't exactly three feet wide or even close to that. What was this guy, a cat? After a small moment, he shrugged off and saw something else. Now blue hair was already strange, but the next person he saw had red hair.

Was he knocked out and having a strange dream right now or something? Sure the boy had strange hair himself, but red hair, that was something. Whatever, it doesn't really matter. She seems to be looking at the cat boy{Leon's nickname for Zane} up on the tree. Was she thinking the same thing as he was? If so, he couldn't blame her. Still, he kept silent anyway and watch her come towards the tree. So much for his alone spot. Even though someone was already there before him, at least the person was sleeping. Maybe she wants to sleep on the tree to? Doubt it, chances are she would return the headphones back to him or something.

"Hey there,"[/b

Huh? That was the first thing that came into his mind. His eye widened as he hadn't expected her to talk to him. Quickly, he recovered himself."Hey." he replied back. As she sat next to him, he stared at her for a moment, trying to decide if he should stay there or move away. In the end, he decided to sit there and talk to her. Maybe it would get his mind off of that woman and that man anyway. He wasn't exactly welcoming though, as his voice was quite stern. It was how he usually speak to strangers, formal but yet stern. Maybe it was a side effect from living as a normal student and at the same time being a director for a star who also lives a double life.

“ uh.. Excuse me !”

He turned his head towards a woman with long brown hair. He blinked his eyes for a moment before he he turned back towards the red head girl. Maybe he should move if the guy falls off. Nah, he would just sue the teen if he falls on him. It would get him some money after all.

[Zane Kaijuu]

Zane growled low at whoever seemed to want to wake him up. "d**n it..." he muttered under breath for a moment before slowly opening his eyes, eyes that looked sleepy and extremely annoyed. Sure, he was normally calm and all...but that was when he wasn't been woken up. With a blood type of AB, he wasn't he greatest person to wake up...low blood pressure. He shook his head lightly, before easily sitting up on the branch, his legs hanging down. He yawned broadly and looked down, tilting his head slightly. "Ooh...I must've dropped my MP3...thank you..." he said, now trying to shake off him being half-asleep so he could try to polite. A sleepy Zane wasn't always a polite Zane.

"Ravenna..." Zane said quietly, looking over at the flame-haired girl and smiling softly. "Who would have thought that we would see each other so soon..." he sighed heavily. "Can't I get any sleep these days..." he asked the air. "It's annoying...I hate being woken up before I want to. I'm not the most pleasant person when I'm woken up..." It was the truth as well.

Leon had no idea how close he was to the mark. Zane pretty much was a cat...after all, he was possessed by the spirit of the Nekotama, the two-tailed cat. Zane shook his head lightly, still trying to shake off of his sleep. "Hmm..." he said, glancing down at Leon. "Yo." he said, forcing a smile and waving slightly. "Don't worry...I won't fall on you." he said pleasantly. "I make sure the tree limbs I sleep on are strong enough to hold me."

Zane was currently wondering why everybody had seemed to choose the tree he had decided to sleep in that day. He sighed, wriggling his nose slightly. "I seem to have bad luck with my tree choices lately." he stated airily. "Maybe I should just stick to one tree near the estate..." He sighed heavily before deciding to lay back down on the branch in a position he thought was comfortable. "Hmm...so what brings you all here?" he asked lightly.

[Ravenna Sohma/Shane Kaijuu]

Everything had seemed to be quiet, so normal, so natural, like nothing was going to happen, but in reality a lot of things seemed to happen, and these all seemed to have major effects on her life for the most part. Ravenna always seemed to hate that. She never seen how she deserved this at all, though she seemed to let herself live with it.

She was a girl who knew many secrets, and of course kept them close to her no matter what. Though she came off as a hot head whom never stopped talking, she in reality was a really sensitive, kind, and promising individual. She bit her bottom lip slightly. Well, that was life for you tied up in a bow. Full of random events that always seemed to effect your life in small or sometimes even major ways. She didn't seem to let others notice her true feelings. It was too weird to be so open, so she usually kept to herself.

She smiled a little more. It was nice to be responded to. She was always ignored by others because she seemed to be a bit strange to others. She liked to be spoken to. "Well, how are you?" she asked him. It was the first thing that seemed to come to her mind, and of course it seemed to be a bit polite, or that was what she seemed to think, and she enjoyed that.

She blinked slightly when she noticed Tohru approach and pick up the MP3 player that Zane had dropped. That boy. He was always doing something strange, whether it was sleeping in trees, or even now just dropping his MP3 player, though she couldn't blame him for acting like a cat since he was possessed by the Nekotama spirit. She sighed slightly letting her gaze rest for a moment on Tohru.

She indeed was the one her cousin Kyo had loved, and always would. Yeah, the girl was quite a ditz, and she could see many flaws, and she seemed to wonder how her cousin could like these qualitites. She always seemed to wonder why Tohru was the one to keep smiling and was nice to everyone. Being nice never really got Ravenna places, so she refused to show that side of herself to others anymore.

"Yo, Tohru," she murmured slightly, giving her a sarcastic salute. She was a bit jealous that her cousins were always busy, and that Kyo seemed to spend a lot of time with Tohru, but it was only right she assumed. She didn't hate Tohru, she just got annoyed a bit, but she respected her too in ways that she wouldn't admit aloud since of course others wouldn't quite understand those thoughts.

She looked at Zane whim was now awake finally as she let her crimson gaze focus on him. At least he seemed to remember her name. He knew her name, and she kind of knew why from a past encounter. Thinking about it made her surpress a small giggled. It was hilarious how she seemed to act like a child for that day. She was done with that for now. She wouldn't goof off in front of others.

She listened to his query wondering why he seemed to think that he had every right to know what everyone was doing there. She rolled her eyes. "Do you honestly think that everyone wants to answer that question, it's their own personal life Zane-san, so please refrain from asking it that way and be more courteous about it, or I'm gonna get really pissed off," she snorted slightly, crossing her arms across her chest as she looked at him. "I'll only answer out of the kindness of my heart. . . I was walking around bored and just happened to be walking by," she finished with a slight nod.

She now turned back to the boy she had been talking to. "I'm sorry for bursting out like that, anyways, my name is Ravenna Sohma, and yours if I may ask you?" she extended a hand slightly, smiling a bit, wondering if he would be so friendly or maybe even be a bit frightened of her from her random outburst. Whatever the outcome, she knew she could handle it, she could deal with it.

[faded]

Apparently she had missed the two other people sitting around the tree as well, another boy sat on the side perched with his back on the bark, he seemed to be in a rather foul mood from the look on his face. In the three next to the boy who had dropped his mp3 player sat a girl Tohru noticed as one of the Sohma’s though she couldn’t quite recall her name. "Ooh...I must've dropped my MP3...thank you..." “ your quite welcome you should buy a little clip they have at the store you can stick it to the back and clip it to your clothing so you wont lose it” she chirped happily back at him.

"Yo, Tohru," "Hmm...so what brings you all here?" "Do you honestly think that everyone wants to answer that question, it's their own personal life Zane-san, so please refrain from asking it that way and be more courteous about it, or I'm gonna get really pissed off,…… I'll only answer out of the kindness of my heart. . . I was walking around bored and just happened to be walking by,"

Tohru had chirped in a hello to Ravenna was it? Ah yes that was the girls first name, she had seen her at the wedding though she hadn’t looked happy at that event either. Slowly a bit of conversation passed between the four of them, as mush as she wanted to chime in on her activities she slightly felt out of place with the three of them, obviously they were friends with each other and Tohru had seemingly interrupted them. with a short way she started on her way once more humming a little tune in her head along the way, a small breeze past by Tohru couldn’t help but get excited as she caught a fallen blossom “ OH my wish will come true !” she gasped excitedly.

[Seijun]

"Well, how are you?"

This girl just likes to talk huh? Seishiou tried to resist to roll his eyes. He really hated when people older than him are actually more immature than he is. Shouldn't she be able to tell that he is mad today? If he isn't, would he had sat there thinking that he was alone? Still, maybe it was just all the lessons that Clovis had taught him, he kept his mouth shut. Well, he could just lie to her and say that he was feeling fine. How would she know? She can't read minds...at least he was sure that she can't anyway. He lives in a world full of secrets after all, he had lied so much that it came naturally for him. Thanks to that, he can't really trust people. To many this would be something truly sad because he is just a little boy in their eyes. He hated that though. Why can't they just treat him like an adult? Why do they think that he lies every day of his life and won't accept help from others?

"Fine." he lied. It came out so naturally though that he didn't really gave much thought to it. He truly was getting used to the world of the adults, where everyone lies to each other. That was how the world works after all. It was how everything works in this stupid place. Not to say that he hated Japan, he liked the scenery. He just hated the people in it. They always live in their own world that it is so hard to deal with them. That was why he wasn't exactly a people person. Then again, what manager is? They just lie to people all the time after all. He had seen it again and again that it was like watching the same thing over and it over. It got repetitive and boring. Of course, work was also boring but he did it anyway. At least with work he gained something, but to see people lie again and again simply annoys him.

"I'm sorry for bursting out like that, anyways, my name is Ravenna Sohma, and yours if I may ask you?"

Huh? What happened? He tried to replay her words in his head but all he got was her name. Well, he might as well introduce himself. As he saw her hand extend, he didn't do anything. He simply sat there and gave out his alias."Touketsu Seishou." he answered. That was all that he gave out since there was no point in telling them his real name. It was just a name to him. It didn't mean anything at all. Suddenly, the oldest one int he group cried out.

“ OH my wish will come true !”

What the heck? Why did she just cried that out? Who in the world would cried that out? She is a woman right? Why does it feel like she some kind of eight year old kid? Is anyone here mature? People always say that first impression was important and that was true. So what was his first impression of them? They're are little kids in a teenager or adult body.

[Zane Kaijuu]

Zane really wanted to go back to sleep, but at the moment, it wasn't an option. He would be woken up again most likely. His mouth widened in a yawn as he looked down sleepily at the group who had decided to come over to his tree of the day. "Hmm....still tired." he mumbled, dropping his arm down to hang from the tree limply.

"Well, I'm sorry that I seem to be rude at the moment, but you've seen me at my worst after I've woken up." Zane said simply. "I'll be sure to try to be more pleasant in the future...but don't blame me when I bite your face off of for waking me up." he stretched lightly on the branch, closing his eyes slightly. "Do you think you all could like...go away? I wanna go back to sleep now." he murmured sleepily.

Zane looked down at Tohru lightly and yawned broadly again. "Alright...I'll be sure to do that...thank you for the advice." he said simply before resting his head on his hands now and closing his eyes. "I'm going back to sleep...first person to wake me up is going to be mauled by me..." Mauled? What type of person threatens to maul something? A cat or a bear maybe...who knows.

[Ravenna Sohma/Shane Kaijuu]

There many things that seemed to get on Ravenna's nerves, though she never figured out quite what she was supposed to do when she got this angry. Usually she spent this rage on other things and harmed others, or used harsh or cruel words, though she seemed to be becoming more and more calm now.

She listened to Tohru's greeting and just nodded, not saying anything back. Of course she wouldn't do that, that would most certainly make her comment something rude or even mean, and that last thing she needed was her own family turning against her. She sighed shaking her head after hearing Tohru's excalmation. "What wish is that now?" asked Ravenna, grinning smugly at her. She was usually mean about these type of things to Tohru, and always made fun of her this way. "I didn't think you had anymore wishes, I mean you seem to be happy all the time, isn't that enough?"

She turned back to Seishiou as he replied to her query. She narrowed her eyes slightly as she shook her head. "Why lie about something like that. . . your clearly upset, not only were you here alone in the quiet thinking, but just by the way your acting, so cold. . . . " Her crimson gaze burned on him now as she seemed to smile, figuring she was right, though she usually was right about these things. Call it intuition, but she was just a genius at figuring things out about others.

She frowned when he didn't take her hand and made a pouty face. "Well then," she snorted feeling a bit flared up now as she took her hand away as quickly as she had extended it to him. She sighed a few times as her crimson gaze moved a little more. "So, spill it right now, I want to know, what in the world made you come here? Is it Zane-san?" she smirked looking up. Of course she still had the thoughts that he was homosexual with his cousin, but even if it wasn't true, it was still fun to say it was. "I'm sure he'd love to get to know you better," she teased winking slightly.

If anything, she was trying to find a calmer way to vent her anger, though sometimes it didn't work, and when that happened she blew up on others and it definately wasn't a pretty sight. She probably thought that the boy before her would think she was weird or a freak, but it wasn't something that she didn't already believe.

When Ravenna saw Zane's arm hang down, she grinned slightly and pulled him to make him fall out of the tree. "You definately aren't going back to sleep," she remarked with an interesting gleam in her gaze. She'd make sure he wouldn't get hurt. . . much, though it was always interesting to tease him and Satomi, she didn't know why, but teasing them always seemed to lighten her mood, though she made sure the teasing wouldn't cause emotional trauma whenever it was possible since she always seemed to think through these actions. She knew she would get scolded most likely but she didn't care, if Zane tried anything, which he'd probably be too afraid to do, then she would certainly kick his ass, and she was sure of that one hundred and fifty percent.

[faded]

"Alright...I'll be sure to do that...thank you for the advice." Tohru had already started off by the time the sleepy looking boy had offered any thank you to her, though it hadn’t seemed to bother her anyways. She had done something she would of normally done and no thank you’re a thank you would of changed her reaction had she been able to do it over again. Tohru had already become lost in her own little world when the wind had sent her world to a sea of cherry blossoms, unable to control herself Tohru burst out when the little silk petal landed in her hand “ oh now my wish will come true” she had blurted out so thoughtlessly. Though she had thought nothing of it apparently her other counterparts had taken offence to her rather upbeat spirit.

"What wish is that now? I didn't think you had anymore wishes, I mean you seem to be happy all the time, isn't that enough?" Tohru was completely caught off by the question the hate seemed to drip from the words like venom. Turning back with the petal still in her hand Tohru only seemed to look confused as she stared back at Ravenna “ well you can’t tell your wishes silly until they come true and since it will come true I have to wait until the exact moment that it does to be able to tell what it was. “ Tohru chose to ignore the last half of her words only because she knew trying to explain anything would only make the girl more anger then she was. “ anyways Kyo will be coming home soon I have to hurry home to prepare dinner” she chimed with a smile on her face “ have a nice day !” turning Tohru gave a wave to the three of them before heading off into the distance.

[Seijun]

Well that was...strange. As soon as the woman came, she left in an instant. Seishou wasn't sure on what to say at all. His mind was in a daze from her entrance and exit. Whoever that girl was, he had a feeling that she wasn't going home. Hopefully she'll be going to get her medicine or something. Whoever she was though, she was creepy. Tohru was her name...right? Yeah, Tohru was her name, the girl who had one of her wishes come true. Whatever that wish is, though he doesn't know nor does he really care for it. It was her wish not his and even more was that he doesn't even know anything about her.

Wish. He hated that word. That word was only something a little child would do. The little child that he once was, wishing the for stupidest of stuff like his father's approval or some kind of toy that he would just throw away a month after he gets it. His eyes narrowed at that thought, his mind reflected on the child that he hate so much. The child that he killed in order to cut ties with his father. Yet, the tie was never fully cut. He was still living with that man as always. The man was still trying to talk to him as always. Nothing changed in killing that child. No wish can change it, no amount of work can bring back the things that you have lost. Most of all though, the one thing that you can never bring back is innocence. The one that he had lost for so long.

"So, spill it right now, I want to know, what in the world made you come here? Is it Zane-san?"

Stupid annoying girl. He tightened his hands into fists in anger. His eyes staring at her. Can't he just have some moment of peace."And what? What would you do if you know? Are you saying you could fix the problem? Can you get rid of all the pain that I've been through? Why do you even care? You don't even know me!" he yelled at her as he had lost control of his emotions. Who was this girl? Why did she keep on pestering him? She knows that he was angry so she should know that she was only making it worse. Talking to her won't take away the problem. It would just stall it but never can it ever fix the problem. No one, can ever fix his problem. Doesn't she understand that?

When he had recovered himself though his eyes faltered for a moment as he looked at the ground."I'm sorry. It's....something no one can fix." he spoke before letting out a small bitter laugh. Yes, no one can ever fix it. Not Zane, not Raveena, not Clovis, no one! So why do they always pester him about his problems. It doesn't do anything, it simply bother other people. His problems were his and so there is no point in telling others. It won't do anything. He found his body trembling a bit from the anger that is still welling inside of him. For some reason he could see Clovis telling him to tell her. It was something the man would always do.

[Zane Kaijuu]

"Ravenna...how many times must I say this? I am most definitely not gay...and not gay with Satomi. Must I point out that he is also my cousin?" Zane said, opening one golden eye to glare at Ravenna while yawning at the same time. "Honestly...he's my cousin...and I don't like him...besides we're too...'different." Different meaning that he was possessed by the Two-tailed Cat and Satomi was possessed by the Five-tailed Dog. Cats and Dogs are most definitely different in his eyes. Though, as of late, he had been getting closer to Satomi...a little. The guy still creeped him out though. Zane yawned again and closed his eyes, ready to try to go back to sleep now.

His arm was suddenly being tugged on...and he was suddenly being pulled from the tree with a yelp. Though, of course, being the kitty boy that he was, he landed neatly on his feet next to Seishou, his arms crossed over his chest in annoyance, and he looked rather annoyed though, but that was overlapped by the sleepy look in his eyes. "That was just plain mean, Ravenna." he stated after a moment. "I was sleeping...and you know how I get when I don't get enough sleep. At least 12 hours a day is what I want." he said, glaring sleepily at the red-haired girl.

He looked at Ravenna as she mentioned something about Tohru's wish and he frowned slightly and murmured softly. "You're never too old to wish for something...and never too happy either. No matter where you go, not everybody is completely happy...it's always like they are missing something in their lives...maybe Tohru is missing something..." he smiled softly, yawning. "I need to wake up more since you aren't letting me sleep." he commented lightly before pulling out the oddest of things...a bag of catnip. "This'll wake me up nicely. They say it's crack for cats..." he commented, pouring some into his mouth. He looked over at Tohru and smiled. "I think you would make a great mother..." he said, winking slightly. "And I also think you're missing excitement in your life...since your married, you should ask your husband to have a child." he said lightly. Woah...Zane...that was quite random of him, but it could just be the catnip speaking.

Zane blinked slightly as he heard Seishou's little outburst and he looked at the other male and sighed. "She can't fix the problem, nor can she take the pain away...and she may not know you, but she certainly would care. I have a problem that nobody can fix either, but she's there for me." Zane said softly. "You just have to brace yourself and deal with it...like I do." he said, smiling. "There will always be somebody there for you...whether it's a family member, a friend..." he said, glancing slightly over at Ravenna before looking back. "Or a girlfriend...there's going to be somebody there for you." he stated, then pulling out his bag of catnip again and poured a little bit more into his mouth.

[Ravenna Sohma/Shane Kaijuu]

She seemed to be a bit flustered, a bit frustrated. Everything in her eyes had to be taken in a negative view and opinion, not just a few minor things, but EVERYTHING! There wasn't one thing that seemed to be bothering her mind at all. She always seemed to enjoy being alone, well, at least up untill this school year. The people seemed to be a bit nicer, but maybe that was because she seemed to know a lot more things about the people here, and they knew things about her.

She always was annoyed when others seemed to see her as the cool one, the pretty one, and the smart one. You had to admit though she was pretty, with her large crimson colored eyes and her long crimson hair that flowed down her back till it came a little past her waist. Then there was the intelligence factor. If everyone over looked her attitude and her outbursts they would know she was very intelligent, she just argued to the point of where you listened to her side of the story rather than think of how smart the points were. She also had a cool aura about her that seemed to stun anyone near her.

She always seemed to think there was something wrong. Was she the exact opposite? Was she not what everyone expected? Those thoughts always seemed to run through her mind, for she blamed a lot of things on herself, even to the point as to why the world is in such chaos for most of the time. All these event. . . she blamed it on her existance. She would never really tell anyone, there was never a reason too, and maybe they would become annoyed with her if she said something of the sort.

It always had to happen like this, didn't it? She was the one who got the blame, but one who takes it willingly often gets it. She liked to help others perfect their lives, ir even help them little by little, though she could never quite realize what she did actually seemed to help the world out little by little. It was a gift she had that she didn't know she possessed. If she did know of this quality the outcome of her behavior towards others could have indeed become cold, so she was oblivious to this kind and caring nature of hers.

As Tohru finished her words Ravenna rolled her eyes. "There's no such things as wishes, nor them coming true, if there was there would be hope for everyone, and people wouldn't be so upset!" she burst out, her hands shaking slightly from rage that seemed to be filling her very quickly now. She couldn't stand it seeing others so happy all the time when she herself was miserable inside. It bothered her deeply, but she decided against letting more of her emotions out. It wasn't smart, it wasn't intelligent at all. It was something completely different from herself, and having others see her upset was a weakness, though one could tell that the words she had spoken were truth to her, and of course was something personal about herself as well.

"Wishes are stupid, period," she finished slightly as she watched Tohru begin to leave. She wanted to see her cousin Kyo again, though not when Tohru was around, her happiness seemed to suck the life out of Ravenna's personality, and it usually put her in a very bad mood.

Seishou looked a bit upset, no more like angry towards her. Of course she knew he was upset and in a foul mood, but problems were never solved by sitting there and bottling them up. She had learned that and hated to see others do that too. It bothered her a lot. She sighed now. Hearing his comment seemed to make her wonder, why was she always trying to help, why was she not concerned with her very own life. She never could figure that out and of course was the reason why a small tear found its way sliding down her cheek. It was more of a pity for herself. If she actually took the time to help herself instead of others, would that really make her a better person? She seemed to doubt that a lot. It was a stupid idea anyways.

She listened to the boys rant casually before resting a hand lightly on his shoulder. "Listen. . . I have no idea what your problem is. . . or if I could help for the matter, but. . . I'd like to try. . . even if I do fail in the end you'll be better off than you started knowing that you tried, and also that you gave me the chance, heck you might even become better friends with me or even Zane-san." She smiled slightly as she seemed to stare at him briefly, her crimson gaze intent yet gentle to the eyes.

She crossed her arms now. "Even if you say no, I'll refuse that as an answer completely. And ask Zane, you'll keep running into me, I'm a bee you can't get rid off," she giggled gently. "Just tell me your problem so I can at least try," she whispered finally.

She turned to Zane now. "Zane you are, I've seen how close you two are, and it's definately more than just cousin love. I don't see why you don't just admit it already.

She smirked now when he commented on her moving him from his resting place. "I don't care. You're being a little brat complaining like that," she rolled her eyes. "Honestly you should try being a lot nicer," she said tugging on his arms now as she was trying to drag him closer to Seishou.

At his comment on wishes she seemed to shake her head feeling another tear slide down her cheek. She let her emotions freeze to how they were again and she sighed slightly. She seemed to love it, she loved how she could do that so easily, and with that capability she could easily stop herself from making childish remarks, comments, or crying. She stopped herself from it and was simply happy now. "Wishes are only for little kids to give them false hope. To get anywhere in life you have to do things!"

Ravenna sighed slightly. "Why would someone need a girlfriend or boyfriend so soon, Zane, I mean it's good if he's looking but don't force the idea like that," she commented, snatching the cat nip from Zane and smirking in a teasing manner. "This really isn't good for you to be eating, so I think I'll confiscate it for now." She brushed her crimson hair back slightly as she smiled between the two. It was certainly interesting, and she enjoyed teasing not only Zane but Satomi too, she wasn't quite sure why, but she was always drawn to those with bad luck or with bad pasts and such and she always seemed to help them find their happily ever after even though that sounds a bit childish. She hoped though that in the end she could find her hapiness whether it was alone or with someone she loved.
